Used vs. Volkswagen Certified Pre-Owned Cars

Once you decide to pick up a Volkswagen car, one of the first things to think about is whether you want to go new or used. If you decide on the latter, another choice must be made: used or Volkswagen Certified Pre-Owned. Both have their advantages, and this guide from North Penn Volkswagen examines the details so you can make an informed decision.

Why Buy a Used Volkswagen Vehicle?

Volkswagen cars have a strong reputation for reliability and low maintenance, so even older models can give you many years of excellent performance. In addition to its dependability, a used Volkswagen vehicle immediately helps you control costs. Upfront costs are lower than they’d be for a new or Certified Pre-Owned car, so you won’t have to borrow as much from a lender, resulting in a shorter repayment period, lower monthly payments, and lower lifetime loan costs.

Why Buy a Volkswagen Certified Pre-Owned Car?

Volkswagen cars have changed and improved from one year to the next. Even a year or two can make a significant difference in the kind of features available. Because Volkswagen Certified Pre-Owned models are newer, you’ll find entertainment and safety features that might be absent from or less advanced in an older model.

Furthermore, these cars are thoroughly examined and reconditioned and must pass a rigorous inspection by trained and certified technicians. These technicians also take these vehicles out on the road to gauge their performance and safety. Certified Pre-Owned vehicles come with the original warranty and an extended warranty when that one expires. In addition, they include vehicle history reports and two years of 24/7 emergency roadside assistance. These cars also come with three months of SiriusXM® satellite radio. Overall, it’s a lot more for your money!
